Improvement of Automatic Calculation Method of CASE Bearing Capacity
Abstract
Because of the reliance on the empirical parameter CASE damping coefficient Jc, the high-strain CASE method is not recommended. The automatic bearing capacity calculation method RAU can avoid this, but it cannot be applied to friction piles. Based on the analysis of the automatic calculation method of bearing capacity RAU, considering the influence of pile side soil resistance unloading, this paper improved the RAU method through the influence of pile side soil damping on the velocity of the pile mass point during the stress wave propagation process. In this paper, we compare the collected static load test results of test piles with the improved automatic method results. The unary linear regression analysis is carried out with the help of statistical tools. The unary linear regression of the improved automatic method bearing capacity results on the static load test bearing capacity results is established. The improved automatic method solves the problem that the RAU method is only applicable to end-bearing piles and can be applied to the quality analysis and bearing capacity calculation of the high-strain curve of the driven pile.
